Cleaning Masonry
In this video, you’ll see several images of before & after the masonry cleaning was completed. This cleaning project was a three part process.
First, we used the ThermaTech system with super heated water & low pressure to carefully remove any grime & moss on the limestone columns & clay tile patios. Next, 2 applications of Prosoco Restoration Cleaner & elbow grease to remove masonry coatings. Finally, another pass with the ThermaTech to remove the last bit of staining.
